Background: Achalasia is a primary esophageal motility disorder, which shows impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the absence of peristalsis, leading to dysphagia, weight loss, and chest pain. In recent years, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has become a popular method for treating achalasia. However, the effectiveness and safety of full-thickness myotomy (FTM) versus circular muscle myotomy (CMM) in POEM require further investigation.

Diagnostic approach to patients with suspected motility disorders: one size does not fit all.

Ann Gastroenterol

Academic Department of Gastroenterology, Medical School of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, "Laiko" General Hospital of Athens, Greece (Theodoros Voulgaris, Theodoros Alexopoulos, Jiannis Vlachogiannakos, Dimitrios Kamberoglou, George Papatheodoridis, George Karamanolis).

Background: Dysphagia and retrosternal chest pain are considered typical manifestations of major esophageal motility disorders (mEMD). High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the gold standard for mEMD diagnosis, while endoscopy and barium swallow are ancillary tools. We aimed to investigate the frequency of mEMD among patients referred for HRM with typical compared to non-typical symptoms.

Prospective evaluation of opioid cessation in patients with suspected Opioid-induced esophageal dysfunction (OIED).

Neurogastroenterology and Motility Unit, Gastroenterology Department, Institut Clínic de Malalties Digestives i Metabòliques (ICMDM), Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain 08036.

Introduction: The causal relationship between chronic opioid use and esophageal motor dysfunction in symptomatic patients has not been established.

Methods: A prospective before-and-after multicenter study, including chronic active opioid patients referred for esophageal motility tests due to non-obstructive dysphagia.

Results: 37 patients were evaluated, 27 (73%) had criteria of opioid-induced esophageal dysfunction (OIED).

Achalasia cardia is a primary motility disorder of the esophagus marked by the absence of peristalsis and the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax during swallowing. The preferred surgical approach is laparoscopic Heller's cardiomyotomy with Dor's fundoplication. Given the significant risks of mucosal perforation and the possibility of incomplete myotomy, which can lead to symptom recurrence, it is essential to ensure both the completeness of the myotomy and the preservation of the mucosal integrity.
